Boyhood's End
Boyhood's End is a cantata for tenor and piano composed by Michael Tippett in 1943, based on text by William Henry Hudson.[1] Tippett wrote the piece for Peter Pears and Benjamin Britten, whose talent had impressed him during a rehearsal for My Beloved Spake.[2] Pears and Britten performed Boyhood's End in June 1943 at Morley College;[2] it was given its premiere, perhaps by someone else, on May 24 that year.[3]
